89 Civic Swap sat for 5 years boggs down wont rev past 2500k
the car wont rev, i give it gas it kinda spits and sputters i try to floor it and it just falls on its face and dies. it will start up everytime just hard to keep it running. i believe everything is wired up right. check engine light is on but i dont think it has anything to do with my problem as it was on before the trans popped.
the car sat for 5 years i just put it back together, it had quarter tank of gas in it.
i put injectore cleaner in it. not sure what problem is. revs up a bit but wont go past 2500k and then just dies.
cannot barly give it gas and it dies

You need to see what the CEL is on for, doesn't matter if you think or don't think it has anything to do with the problem. That's your ECU telling you something IS wrong.
5 year old gas is also a no no unless you put something in there to stabilize it. Even then, 5 years is a long time.

well cel was on before and car ran like a top, i have a vented gas cap on the car and like i said it sat for around 4-5 years. could this be the problem.
car starts up fine just hard to keep it running and when you give it gas it just dies out.
